Volumeicon in i3

#1 Post by pawRoot »

Hi

Was anyone able to make volumeicon work with i3 ?

I have this in my i3 config:

Code: Select all

exec --no-startup-id volumeicon
But it's not showing in tint2, unless i type volumeicon in terminal.

Does it work if you use ~/.xsession instead?

Do other commands in your "i3 config" work?

Please also post the complete configuration file along with it's full name and location.

I tried .xinitrc (probably dumb idea?) and i3 config only, but i saw someone saying that volumeicon won't execute if there isn't any sound produced at startx, which seems weird, i tried adding
start-pulseaudio-x11
to .xinitrc but didnt help also.

I am not using .Xsession file at all, should i create empty one and add
exec volumeicon
to it ? i don't want to create links and other mess in my OS.
